Okay so I started playing like 3-4 weeks ago and ive had no issues with the game, however just recently (like, starting yesterday) something in game gets caught behind. This happens randomly- I dont lag, I can move, I cant attack, and I take damage. (everything runs smoothly) suddenly about 3-4 seconds later everything will pop up and catch up. Im not too sure whats caused by this and im pretty sure its not my computer- this computer is almost 4 months old and I havnt had any issue like this. id really like to know whats causing this so I can stop it, and fix it.

That could have to do with intermittent connection issues. If you suffer packet loss then the game won't update until it begins receiving data through its connection again.

Are you playing on wifi?

Is it in an apartment or dorm building where many other users are likely to have wifi routers?

Are you sharing a router with users that are streaming (watching youtube, netflix, twitch, etc.)?

I think it might be a Riot server issue that's only affecting some of the player-base, like me. I was in a couple matches earlier where it was happening, although towards the end of the 2nd match the lag seemed to stop (not in time to avoid it being a stomp against my team though). My mid-laner was also lagging but he actually had high latency, my ping was normal (60-ish) the entire time, but the lag happened nonetheless. I've had this happen a few times in the past. I'm in BC Canada on Shaw internet, idk if that has anything to do with it.

Edit: As of the last 10-15 minutes I'm having major internet issues in general, but it was working fine for hours besides in league.
